Celia Forbing of Kenton, O., was walking
through the new court house at Tifin with
some young friends. Suddenly she stepped
up to the marriage record and dared any
young man present to take out the papers
ana make her his. The challenge was ac-
cepted by young man of the party, and
the knot was tied at Fostoria that same
night.
A dispatch from Carbondale, ILL.,, says Mrs
Logan's injuries are very serious, but she is
improving in every respect. Her left shout

Woman suffrage has made much greater
progress in England than in this country.
The National Society for Women's Suffrage
reports that at the last general election there
were returned 351 members of the House of
Commons pledged to support the admission
OF qualified women to the franchise. This is
substantial majority of that body, and but
for the pressure of more important issues
upon the attention Of the House some legis-
lation in the direction of female suffrage
would probably ere this have been enacted.

Railroads In Aroostnok

The activity OF the towns on the Aroos-
took river in pushing forward the scheme for
the Northern Maine railway seems to have
thoroughly alarmed the people Of Houlton.
The Aroostook Pioneer of this week pub
fishes an article intended to prove that
railroad running north and south through
Arosstook county by Houlton to Pressure
Isle, would almost ruin Houlton's CONNER
cial interests. When the peculiar condition
OF the village is considered this position
which the Pioneer takes does not seem so
unreasonable. Houlton is situated right on
the Canada line, at the terminus of Cana
dian railroad that goes no further into Aroos-
TOOK county. There is the only railroad out
let Tor the whole of Southern Aroostook.
From lloulton county roads radiate as the
spokes OF wheel from the huh. TO the
north the towns Of Blaine, Bridgewater,
Monticello and Littletou send their produce
to Houlton for market; from the south,
ORIENT, Amity, Cary, and Hodgdon are tribu-
tary; while to the westward lies the whole
of the interior Of the southern part of the
county. With few manufacturing industries
Houlton is great town, because it is tile
shipping and distributing point Of large
agricultural region. From the north and
the south the farmer must come to Houlton
because there is no other shipping point
But let railroad run up through Aroostook
county from north to south, the Pioneer
points out, and the local traffic of towns
to the north and south would go to little way
stations. This prospect alarms the people of
Houlton, and they are recalling the prophecy
OF man from the West, the lana where the
conditions of municipal growth are carefully
studied, who said once when in Houlton:
You are all right till another railroad comes
in here, and then the value Of your town is
destroyed" So it is very natural to find the
people of Houlton opposing the Northern
Maine railroad. But there are other consid-
eratlons besides the welfare of the shire
town. The welfare of the comfy of ARGOS
took and State OF Maine is consideration
far above the welfare of any one town. The
question which the people of Aroostook
ought to consider is whether the Short Line
railroad will bring new energy and wealth
to Aroostook and bring nearer to the world
the resources Of Northern Maine -
question is paramount to the D, sneritv ~ .

This list is for the inspection Of the whole

not is none Of his business. Congress con-
ferred on Mr.. Page no discretion as regards

there his control Of 1t ends. His books he is
not obliged to show, but this list he is obliged

The Argus copies from the New York Her
aid an article designed to show that President
Cleveland's administration has really been
more favorable to pension claimants than any
OF its predecessors. The article contains some
Important omissions ana mis-statements. For
Instance, it is alleged as greatly to Mr. Cleve-
lands credit that he signed the bill in
croasing the pensions of widows and de-
pendent parents from IS to S12 month. So
he did and SO would any President. But
how he happened to have the opportunity is
not told. The fact is that pension bill would
have been law a year earlier had It not
been for the opposition Of the Democrats of
the House, who resorted to filibustering T.,
defeat 1t under the lead of a Southern Dem
scrat Then again the statement is made
that during two years Of Mr.. Cleve,and's
administration 1891 more certificates were
issued than during the preceding two years
OF Republican rule. This is false, and even
IL It were true 1t would be very poor evidence
OF Cleveland's frendliness for the soldier
to pit against the jeers in some of his veto
messages and his killing Of the dependent
pension bill, measure which had the almost
unanimous support of the soldiers. The rec
ord shows that all the important pension
legislation since the war has originated with
the Republican party, and has been carried
through by it frequently in the face of bitter
and unrelenting hostility on the part of the
representatives of the Democratic party. To
undertake to parade the Democratic party
and Grover Cleveland as the special friends
OF the soldier strongly smacks of boufe.

The refusal of the local authorities Of the
Dominion to allow the captured American
fishermen to depart for their homes on
fishing vessel is unwarranted. Probably the
authorities base their action on a construc-
ton OF the treaty which forbids the shipping
of crews. But that ground /, untenable in
this case These men are practically strand
ed seamen and they go aboard the vessel, not
to engage In fishing but to be conveyed to
their homes. II the authorities claim that
these men are yiolators of law and ought
therefore to be punished, the reply is that
they must be punished according to law. If
the Dominion laws specify any punishment
for American fishermen caught within the
three mile limit, that of course can be In
flicted after trial and conviction before the
courts. But surely the Dominion does not
put it into the hands of Its collectors to de-
wise punishments for men whom they NAV
think have been violating the law

NEW YoRK's DUTY.
Hartford Courant.1

The Grant monument committee in New
York which started out to build a million
dollar monument, are now considering wheth-
er to ask architects to furnish plans for a
S250,000 monument, or to use the amount
secured, or to be secured within year, TO
accordance with the original plan. That the
committee should think for moment OF the
cheaper plan will be regarded by many as
new proof that mistake was made in bury
ing the great soldier in New York. General
0rants 1amo Is secure enough without a
monument, but 1t will be a,lasting disgrace to
New York il the slightly spot on the Hudson
where his body reposes is not crowned with
a massive and enduring structure worthy
the fame of the man.

Senator Germans convention in Maryland
ought to have given the President an enthu-
sigstic endorsement without any reservation
whatever. Since Cleveland's inauguration
Maryland has been to all intents and pur-
poses Germans pocket borough His rec
concentrations have always been listened to
with great Difference by the administration,
and If any Of them have not been adopted
the public has not heard of it. His obliga-
lions to his Baltimore "hselers" have been
promptly paid by the administration with
public offices. Higgins went into the Treas
ury department in spite of the protests of
the Maryland Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton; Morris Thomas became an Indian agent
Notwithstanding his unftness and his bad
character, and Raisins claims for fine work at
the primaries were settled by making him ma
val officer at Baltimore. Under these circum-
stances German ought to have piled the
praises on to the President thick. Instead
Of this we find tho convention complaining
of the Presidents treatment Of the offices.
German is an migrate. Nothing but the earth
will satisfy him.

being the amount raised by the Irish
citizens of Minneapolis to be devoted to
the purpose Of advancing Ireland's
cause. Taking everything into consid-
Grafton this speaks we'll for the liberal
ity of our citizens of Irish nationality.
Yet it seems that this amount could be
easily increased by the adoption of a
plan similar to thenQne Of the Boston
Republic. During Che week we have
met many Irishmen who intimated that
they would be only too willing to sub
scribe to such a fund. Now would be
a good time to carry out the scheme i.
and we hope a movement will be made
in that direction just as soon as pos
sible. The Nationalists are on the eve
of great victory, and it will not do to
neglect them at this critical momen t..
The ST. fund has many advantages over
former ones, inasmuch as it would
place every subscriber on an even foot
ing. The SIS fund of a few years ago
was too exclusive, as only those in more
than ordinary circumstances could af-
ford to contribute to it. We would like
to see some of our readers express
themselves on this subject through the
columns of The IRISH STANDARD.

part of 1887 be-, with John Dillon,

ted, but was soon after released. The
object of his visit to Canada, whence
he barely escaped with his life, was to

poor tenants of his estate in Ireland. AS
result of the affair at Mitchelstown
Mr.. O'Brien was arrested on board the
London steamer at Dublin, whittier he
had gone to bid Henry Labouchere

the Government offered O'Brien his lib
erty, provided: he promised not to go to
London, but this Mr.. O'Brien refused
to do. He was taken to the Imperial
hotel and told that he could remain
there all night if he would not make a
speech, but this also he refused, and ac-
cordingly made a speech from the hotel

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR CON-
VENTION.

Inc COnVeQClOn OF LQe -hQlgQCS OF
Labor which will convene here next
Monday cannot but have an important
bearing on the future of that order. 1t
is not yet known what will be the par
ticular subjects discussed on this occa-
sion, but it is safe to assume that Co
operation and matters directly affect
ing the order will receive a great deal
of attention. If one was to believe the
reports that have been circulated con.
cerning the probable outcome of the
forthcoming convention it might be
supposed that the order was going to
terminate it's existence, or at least
break up in confusion. But this is not
exactly the case. Since the order was
formed some few years age it has grad
ually gained in numbers until now it
can count it's members by the tens and
hundreds of thousands. No doubt the
knights have in the past done several
things that might better have been left
undone, but on the whole no one can
deny the fact that they have accom-
plished very much for the laboringman
on this continent. This can be seen by
the influence they exert over men who
would otherwise crush the very life out
of their employees. If nothing else this
should secure for them the respect of
every person who takes any interest in
the social advancement of the human
race. But the order has done still
more. 1t has Systematically encouraged
a love of reading, thought and temper
ance among it's members. The labor
ingman of to-day is different indi-
vidual altogether from the working
man of twenty years ago. He is now an
intelligent, sober and industrious per.
son. In this respect the order has
great reason to congratulate itself.
The effort which has been made in
certain quarters to create the idea that
the slight differences which have ex'
listed between the X. of L. and the
trades unions would eliminate in an
open fight at the convention is utterly
groundless. Except in few minor de-
tails the trades unions and the Knights
of Labor dwell in sweet accord. 1t is
beyond dispute that the result Of this
convention is eagerly waited for by
more than one class of persons, and
perhaps not withc ut reason.
